I had an awful day but it'll be okay
Just gotta take to the street and walk it off for a while
I pass an unmarked van and an entitled man
Who as I cross his path tells me to smile
Smile
Cause what's a girl like me to do
But wait for more instructions from you
What I do holds an unrecognized value
In a world that is already about you
Smile
Why don't you just smile
You'd be so pretty if you'd decorate a man's world with your smile
It was a killer night tonight
Everything felt right
And I am lost in thought about my awesome life
I am walking home
I am all alone when some guy tries to objectify me
And then he tells me to smile
But I'm unwilling to comply
I look that manhole right in the eye
Instead I think that I'd rather see you cry
Hey brother you should really show us some more thigh
Smile
You want me to smile
Is there a reason why men never ask another man to smile
Smile cause what's a girl like me to do
But wait for more instructions from you
What I do holds an unrecognized value
In a world that is already about you
Smile
They want us to smile
These crusty motherf*ckers have some nerve to ask the girls to
Smile
Cause what's a girl like me to do
But wait for more destruction from you
Our labor is an unquantified value
In a world that is completely about you
Smile
Why won't we just smile
You'd be so pretty if you'd decorate a man's world with your smile
Smile
Smile
Is there a reason why men never ask another man to smile
